LOS ANGELES – Single Moms Planet Founder Neferteri Plessy spoke about her journey as a model-turned single moms activist and influencer when she was the featured guest on “All Access Live” podcast last week.
Hosted by veteran rocker Kevin Rankin of the British band A Flock of Seagulls, the show features top actors, musicians and pop culture personalities discussing their newest activities.
“One of the things I say is ‘Remove the word lonely from your lingo… Life is not a lonely place. We’ve made that word a negative,” she said during the interview. “Anytime someone thinks of being alone, we think of it as linked to mental illness or depression. But no. It’s a power space when you can sit alone and you can be in in your kingdom or queendom and you can say ‘I can stand on my own two feet and I feel good about who I am.’”
Plessy also spoke about her efforts to inspire single moms and others through her organization and her public speaking where she aims to empower them to be successful in business and in their personal relationships.

“I was 17 years old and a friend of mine came to me and said ‘You should become a Playmate,’ and I asked ‘why would I become a Playmate? Why would I do that?’ so there was this newspaper clipping that said they were looking for their millennium playmates,” she recalled. “But you had to be 18… the day that I went, was a day after I turned 18 years old to audition to become their Millennial Playmate the consisted of 12 Playmates from all over the world and I ended up becoming Miss July.”
She also spoke about her work on film and television as well as establishing Single Moms Planet while raising her children as a co-parenting mom. She also shared her vision on entrepreneurship in addition to creating Elevated Strategist, her marketing company where she worked with Fortune 500 companies.
